Hello all,

I have a problem with my system which often hangs. Sometimes it is enough to kill the MC15 process and start it again. In other situations I have to restart the computer.

I suspect that it is related to kernel streaming since I have not yet experienced the problem if I am using direct sound. I thought I had found a consistent way to reproduce the issue, but was not the case.

It primarily (only?) seems to happen when I play netradio steams. I mostly play the steams from this site:

http://www.dr.dk/netradio/wmp.asp

and use the "Høj" link. Mostly it plays just fine, but sometimes when I switch between the links it hangs completely. I added most of the links to a playlist which I manage from the theater view using an MCE remote. But it is the same if controlling it directly, i.e. without the remote.

My system:

Dell inspiron 94000
Window XP SP3 media center ed
M2Tech hiface, driver 1.0.3.140
MC 15 version 15.0.167

Hope someone can help.

Thanks
Kim

15.0.171 is on the download page.  It's worth a try, but the problem may be with the driver.  Did you check to see if there's a newer driver?

Yes the driver is the latest version. Actually I was directed to you (J River MC) from M2Tech who claimed that you support their device. But I agree that it sounds like a driver issue. Only problem is that M2Tech thinks that is works with MC.

I downloaded and installed MC 15.0.171 but did not have time to check if it fixed the problem since my trial (and expanded trial) expired. However, I do not feel comfortable buying the program if it periodically hangs while in use! Maybe someone else is able to try this?
